If you look at it [whilst standing on it], and you cannot change your prespective view of it, the closer parts look wider, and the farther parts look thinner.
From perspective alone, there is no way you can tell what the real width of the road would be, if you are simply one static eye.
Infinites seem to not exist, as they are so distant that they are too small to see, prespectively.
Also, the closer it is, the more “up in your face” the road’s texture/width is, and once you are too close against it, you can’t see much of anything other then the tiny texture details.

Now, imagine humans, close up against their existence, noticing lots of small things but not able to see the invisible, most important details of reality, due to the effects of distances. This is originally good, because it helps humans to focus on the task at hand, but long-term thinking really should have its place in humanity.
Scalar infinites simply become a single point/particle in a higher dimension.
Vector infinites simply become an infinitely long “string”/“energy-wave” in a higher dimension.
Wow Dan, Never have I ever wanted to call a random person, brother, as I do in this moment. But, BROTHER!! great understanding was displayed in your post.
I give you an example of exactly what you described.
In the bathroom, turn one mirror so you can see another mirror directly behind you. You will see your image going on into infinity until the angle or you eye cannot detect.
I feel this illustrates your point. Please, others, elaborate on your view of time. Let’s talk time.
I take special interests in your threads, and make sure to try to read each one.
I like you.
I thought that it was a mechanical process “behind” the quantu [particles and waves], which moved faster then the speed of light and caused certain behaviors.
“Time” seems to be a rather universal “format” of motion.
Okay, I had a dream once, so give me some credit, but it went like this.
It was a vision of traveling though space itself, at quite a speed. And the light of what may have been stars was flooding by, in liquid motion light, flowing through my beingness, in infinite patterns, never ending. Whatever I was at that time, it felt really good. I still had my questioning ability and I’ll could ask myself, willl this go on forever, can it go on forever. And a subtle relief came with the knowledge that it would continue. Then I woke up. Liquid motion light!!
Time loses relevence the further you go from a particular perspective; I agree with you in that it isn’t really a limit that is imposed upon the universe itself. The universe, in all likelihood, will continue; flowing on and on. I think it’s difficult for a person to see, because our identity is, in many ways, contingent on the current state of our existance, which is in turn doomed to change eventually as the universe continues to change. Time is our measure of this change, but really it is eternal and immeasurable.
It’s interesting that it is our measurment. It is after all, our ability to adapt. This might give us a clue, maybe, to the nature of existence. We are time binding animals, who recognize a past present and future, and we even plan. I wonder what it would be like not to notice the change. Peace?
Didn’t Dr.Tesla say about universal harmonic vibrations/frequencies?
Yes, light tends to do that, and -God- tends to be even more mind-blowing.
More then a few human-spirits hath been overwhelmed with the spender and glory of certain faculties of nature. They don’t tend to limit themselves in what they experience, and they may actually overload their consciousness.
Note of caution:
On the other side, don’t fry your metaphysical brain with over-stimulation.
